Safer Karl Fischer Titrations with CMR-free reagents and OMNIS

Karl Fischer Titration is the preferred method for the determination of the water content and the reference method in many industries. Safe Karl Fischer titration is therefore an important topic. 

The safety of a Karl Fischer titration is influenced by several important factors:

• Selection of the correct titrant and working medium
• Selection of the correct certified standard for titer determination and system checks
• Monitoring of the titration system to ensure its proper function
• The Karl-Fischer titration itself – never miss the right moment when to start the titration
• Replacement of the working medium when it is exhausted or when the titration vessel is full

OMNIS – the new titration platform from Metrohm and Hydranal’s NEXTGEN reagents from Honeywell offer the most advanced solution for this.

By attending this webinar, you will learn…

• How to carry out a Karl Fischer titration safely with reagents which are free of CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic) substances or halogenated hydrocarbons
• How modern Karl Fischer titrators improve safety in the lab
• How OMNIS titrator can help to achieve perfect results

Presenter: Dr. Roman Neufeld (Senior Research Scientist, Honeywell)
